I attempted to catch the spirit and the phrasing of the questions and answers as accurately as possible, but I am not a professional stenographer or even a particularly good writer. You are welcome to quote some of these questions for your own analysis, please just source back!<br> <br>  <br> <br> Q&amp;A<br> Dev: Whatever you guys want to talk about, instead of the formal 101s we did with the other folks. What do you guys want to talk about? What burning questions haven’t we answered yet?<br>  <br> <br> GSF<br> Heather: What’s going on with GSF?<br> Dev: There’s nothing really going on right now. We are working on some stuff for it next year but we can’t talk about it yet.<br> Michael: [offers a suggestion to make the rewards more worth it, “credits aren’t enough” for incentives, as he’s mastered all his ships]<br> Dev: The reward scheme is definitely the target for us.<br>  <br> <br>  <br> <br> Legacy Friends/Ignore<br> Heather: I heard privacy issues are the reason legacy wide friends/ignore can’t be implemented. Can we make it work?<br> Michael: I don’t want someone to friend me one character and be able to talk to me on another.<br> Heather: Can we make ignore happen, but friends not?<br> Dev: Anything you talk about account-wide anything, it’s always been a privacy issue. We had that one time where you whispered one character and it would go to another of their person’s – that was a huge privacy issue.<br>  <br> <br>  <br> <br> Spam Ignore + Report<br> Swtorista: Related, one of the suggestions I have seen is an “ignore and report” button without a popup that disrupts gameplay.<br> Devs: [general agreement] Some other games have that functionality and it is GREAT.<br>  <br> <br>  <br> <br> Ability Proc Light-up<br> Heather: The thing where the abilities light up, can we have that as an option?<br> Dev: [Needs to speak to someone else, will probably happen.] That’s a good idea. [Also speaks about wanting more toggle choices, for example for 12x XP, they just ran out of time.]<br>  <br> <br>  <br> <br> Better than cross-server qing<br> Heather: Can you talk about now the thing you were talking about with queue issues?<br> Dev: Still working on it. We are talking about what to talk about. Something was promised a couple weeks ago, but no promises other than that. We’ll try before the end of the year to announce something. At the very least we can give a date. To be clear, what you’re going to get is not “here’s what we’re gonna do”. What you’re gonna get is “we know there’s a problem,
